Ah Poop

Why does there have to be so many decisions in life? arg Well I hit a slump with my new lifestyle for the second time this year. I'm trying not to be dissapointed with myself. It is hard especially with no support around me. I have some friends that are Vegetarians but no one is Vegan. It's pretty easy for the most part it's just when I go out or when I'm bummed I'll eat the wrong foods. I guess that would be my emotional eating kicking in. Then to be a pastry chef or not to be a pastry chef..that is now the question! I would love to be able to provide Vegans with wedding cakes and pastries of their dreams!

On another note if anyone out there actually reads my blog and has any advice on lowfat Vegan cooking please send it my way!! I'm having a tough time with it when it comes to deserts! Unfortunetly, many of my friends think that being Vegan means no fat and two lettuce leaves..ignorance rears it's ugly head again. :)

Ignorance

She makes me so angry. Poor Kimbo had to listen to it too. She's not a nutritionist and it's NOT impossible to raise a perfectly healthy Vegan child. We simply have some ignorant people in this world. I'm referring to the people that don't do their research and that starve their children. It is people like Planck that give lifestyles bad names. Does she not realize that some people (my cousin) HAVE to eat Vegan because of their allergies and are otherwise perfectly healthy? It is articles like Planck's that make people automatically assume they know what they're talking about and point their fingers at innocent people.
After I was able to cool off I read some of her writing in her book Real Foods. While I understand some of her ideas I will never believe that lard is good for you.
